He Has the Right Flaws

November 10th 2007 00:34
I’ll take Rudy Giuliani because he has the right flaws. The problem with people like Hilary Clinton or even George Bush is that they believe themselves to be flawless.

Bush is “flawless by faith.”

Hilary is “flawless” by politics. To devoted lefties all that is good is on the left. All else is Error. They can be surprising dogmatic and inflexible about this belief.

The problems associated with anyone who believes they are God or that they can speak authoritatively and definitively for God are probably obvious. Nevertheless, let’s review. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Consider Bush invading Iraq for no logical reason or equally explicable, nominating Harriet Meyers for the Supreme Court. None could dissuade him from disaster because after all, he had spoken to God and God told him he was good to go.


Now if Hilary became Commander in Chief, what could we expect? We have already seen that Hilary believes herself incapable of error. It’s always the fault of a Right Wing Conspiracy or the Boys Club beating up the girl. It is never that Hilary made a mistake. It’s always someone else’s fault. So should we put someone who believes she can do no wrong into the most powerful job in the world? I don’t think so.

Rudy on the other hand know he done wrong. Several times. His position on abortion is nuanced. It has to be to get in under the radar. My only trepidation about Rudy is his view of civil rights. Like Bush, he sometimes seems to forget that everyone who did 9-11 came from outside of the US, and that therefore our borders and our foreign policy are the best ways to deal with the threat. Our civil liberties are not a threat, however much the Bush administration and it’s neo-con acolytes seem to think they are.


One advantage that Giuliani has over Bush in this matter is that he has not been caught publicly playing grab ass with the Saudis and his family is not owned by oil money. In addition, I think congress will be more embolden to keep Rudy’s feet to the fire when it comes to protecting and defending the constitution and persevering our rights and freedoms. It will be good to see congress doing something other than buying our votes with our money for once.

Rudy Giuliani does realize that there is a group of people who wake and go to bed wanting to kill us and that we need to be prepared to do something about that. In my view, Iraq is not that thing we needed to do. All that was accomplished there was to give radical Islam a foothold in Iraq it never had before and to pave the way for a new Shiite state. Lord knows you can never have too many of those…

I agree with you about leftists, there is no possibility of meaningful discussion, as for abortion, recklessly creating life to kill it, inexcusable behaviour from both men and women. Generally the foetus is three months old before it is terminated. No excuse for women or for men, they both know what causes it.

Generally the foetus is three months old before it is terminated.

Most abortions happen before the third month of pregnancy:

52% of all abortions occur before the 9th week of pregnancy, 25% happen between the 9th & 10th week, 12% happen between the 11th and 12th week, 6% happen between the 13th & 15th week, 4% happen between the 16th & 20th week, and 1% of all abortions (16,450/yr.) happen after the 20th week of pregnancy.

If we're going to start punishing people for killing clots of blood and tissue we'll have to start punishing them for cuts and bruises.

Ahmed, have you ever seen fetuses and embryos? I have and at multiple stages of development and they are not just masses of blood and tissue, you can see the heart beat very early, and by the time a woman finds out she is pregnant, makes the decision and is accepted for the procedure it is just as I say. Creation of life carries responsibilities, too often rejected and on insufficient advice and it may, in fact, be the only child he or she ever has. It is murder, irrespective of the age, the embryo develops very quickly.

Indulging in sexual activity cannot be condoned without the knowledge of the rights of the unborn. It does not say much for "Man" who reproduces himself only to destroy it.

Abortion is just an excuse for self indulgence without responsibility. Abstinence in many things does have to be practiced from time to time and I don't know whence you drew those figures and the gestational period can vary by 2 weeks depending on the initial point of its calculation.

The embryo/fetus often has to be broken up for the abortion to occur and audio has been made of its screaming. It is not nice, and something a man never has to endure.

Many live to regret their actions in having an abortion. It is the killing of a life that two people have created.

Only rape and incest and REAL threat to the mother justifies it and many would argue not even then.

I would not have thought Muslims would condone it. It just doesn't seem to coincide with their family image. But I am not well informed about this and I feel sure, many who describe themselves as Christian, practice it.

I'm quite sure up until their third month they are medically classified as nothing more than just a developing sack. It does not behave like a human, it looks a little (and we are talking at 3 months) like a human but it does not possess any brain functionality.

You say that only rape and incest justifies abortion, yet when put into perspective thats simply shifting the blame isn't it? So a woman is raped and is made pregnant by it, does that justify she kill the unborn simply on the merits of 'well I didn't want it'. Did the unborn want it? Did the unborn willingly find its conception? Does the unborn not deserve a chance at life should it be given it?

If the fetus does exhibit traits of being human, if it has brain functionality that indicates it is human to a degree then of course it's wrong to kill it. However for that three months of gestation they really don't possess any human like traits and are more like alien beings than human.

Do I support abortion? No, not to the fullest extent, I don't find abortion to be right after a given period of time. If the fetus has developed such that it can be classifeid as human then it's human and can no longer be killed, it is not part of the carriers body, it's a being in itself. So be it for rape or incest or just accident, to kill an unborn human, that is a fetus that has developed to the point it can be classified as human then no one has the right to kill it.
